is on both surfaces distally somewhat dentate, proximally more strongly angled and more elustnut-brown. 

 The sjjots at the apex of the hindwing are larger and continued to beyond the middle of the distal margin. From 

 Bolivia and Peru. — confusa <%/•. (5(3 d), a further from belonging here, is smaller than the jjreceding two. <"»/(«««. 

 The markings of the upper surface are different, es])ecially on the hindwing, and the ground-colour in the 

 basal half lighter brown. From Ecuador. 



L. persepolis Heu\ (5(ie). May be recognized by the strongly dentate dark brown median Ijaiul on pcrxrpnli.'i. 

 the up])er and under surface, which interrupts the chestnut-red submarginal band on the iJnd median vein 

 of the forewing. The basal part of both wings is chestnut-brown to tiie inner angle. Ecuador. 



L. hewitsonia Btlr. Above chestnut-brown, the distal half of \hA\\ wings dark lirown with 2 I'ows hnrli.^onia. 

 of ciiestuut-brown spots, the distal row on the forewing not reaching the apex. Tlie inider surface is like 

 that of phalaesin. Bolivia. — neda Thievie is probably to be regarded as a form of hcirlt.'ionm, with the two imUi. 

 rows of spots golden chestnut-red and both reaching the costal margin of the forewing. The separate sj)ots 

 are also narrower and longer and the dark brown ground-colour extends somewhat further basad at the 

 costal margin of the forewing. From Limbani in Peru. 



L. circe Fldr. (= Pronojih. praeneste Hew.) (56 e) has the dark brown distal margin narrower than arcc. 

 in lieiritmnia and only traversed by one row of chestnut-red s])ots. The under surface is nearly' as in the 

 allied species and has a row of white dots in the disc of the hindwing. The $ only differs fi'om the (^ in the 

 lighter red-brown colouring above and beneath. Colombia (Bogota and East Cordillera). — cnephas Thkme <meiiUa.f. 

 is a form of circe in which the distal part of both wings is entirely darkened, so that all the red-brcnvn spots are 

 scarcely perceptible. From Salento (Coloudiian (Jfutral Cordillera). 



L. palades Heir. (57 a) is a species similar to circe. which difh-rs in the darker, but at the sanu' time ]ialadcs. 

 brighter brown-red ground-colour and the snuiller, lighter golden-brown and differently placed spots in the 

 distal margin. The spot in cellule 2 of the forewing is long, bi])artite, the inner i)art widely removed 

 proximad, also the anterior spot is placed nearer the base. Beneath the forewing is brown-red with a row 

 of red-yellow spots. From Ecuador. Rare. 



L. zarathustra Thienw. Wings broad, forewing somewhat truncate at the ajjcx. The outer tail of the ::ar<itliiixlr(i. 

 hindwijig broad and spatulate. All the markings very indistinct, the chestiuit-red of the base and spots is 

 scarcely distinguishable from the black-brown distal margin. The spots of the forewing are large and broad 

 and proximally extend into the basal part. fSomewhat more distinct is a triangular spot below the apex. 

 The si)ots of the hindwang reseinble those of circe. From Pajiallacta on the Ohimborazo. 



L. behemoth Thienw is the shape of z<ir<itlni.'^trti, Init the inner tail of the hindwing is wanting. Mark- hclieinolh. 

 ings and colouring on the other hand similar to those of circe Fldr. Before the distal margin only one 

 row of spots, which do not extend into the basal part. Only the spot in cellule 2 of the forewing is larger 

 and accompanied by a small brown spot. This spot and also the costal spot of the forewing and two in cellules 

 4 and 5 of the hindwing are brilliant light red. Colombia. Rare. Coll. Ma a. S sen in the Zoolog. Museum, Berlin. 



L. parthyene Heu\ Above dark brown with red-brown submarginal band, which on the forewing is iturlhi/cnc. 

 narrow and bears a l)lack spot before the apex. Before the latter, close to the costa, a white spot. On the 

 hindwing this band is broader and bears 5 l)lack sjxits. Beneath the forewing is red-l)rown at the base, 

 the band is red-yellow, the white spot somewhat larger. Hindwing beneath nuich as in the allied species. 

 Galgalan in Ecuador. 



L. zapatoza Westic. (5(ie). The suuxllest and the first published species of the genus. The spots xinMtoza. 

 in the iirown distal margin of the forewing are more yellowish than the red-brown l)asal parit. On the 

 under surface almost the whole of the apex is yellowish and the hindwing bears a straight row of 4 small 

 white spots. Venezuela. 



L. sombra Thicme (57 a) ajjproaches z<ipatoz<t,, but differs so much in the larger size and darker colour- sombra. 

 ing that it may probably be regarded as a good species. Above dark chestnut -brown, apex of the fore- 

 wing broadly, distal margin narrowly black-brown. The marginal spots but little lighter than the basal part. 

 Beneath the forewing is somewhat lighter than above, the apex marbled with grey and brown. The base and 

 inner margin of the hindwing are similarly marbled; the distal part is for the most part filled uj) with brown, 

 with a row of 4 white spots. Cordillera of Bogota, Colombia, 



L. orbifera Btlr. (57 a). Above bright brown-red. For(>wing with broad black-brown distal margin, orhljera. 

 which reaches to the cell, with 5 rather large, bright brown-red s])ots in a curved row. The hindwing 

 with narrow margin and 5 brown spots before it. Under surface as in Zitpatozn. Bolivia. — intercepta TJneim, in/crccpla. 

 is a form of orbifera in which the brown-red spot in cellule 2 of the forewing is absent and on the hind- 

 wing the 3 anterior black-brown spots are confluent with the distal margin. From Banos in Ecuador. 

 In the form munda Thieme the ground-colour is brilliant chestnut-red, the dark distal maigin is narrower and miiinl'i. 

 the red spot in cellule 2 is absent as in infercej)fa. Huancabamba (Peru), 3000 m. — pura Thieme, a fur- pura.
